Versailles Speech: Macron Vows to Transform France

Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, has promised that there would be a “profound transformation” of France as well as Europe. He has also called for an end to “cynicism” and defeatism during what can be called a rare address to both the houses of parliament at Palace of Versailles. The speech lasted 90 minutes and was designed in such a style so that it could be similar to a state of the union address that we commonly see in the US.
